Awful. I was looking for a light, easy read, but this was jut terrible. Two stars because I finished it and it was readable, but this book just didnt do it for me. ( )

It was easy reading, although it was rather slow going the first half. I just found the main character a bit dense and was frustrated with her reactions to others. I'm not sure if I'll read the other 2 books in the series or not. ( )
